The building crew, lead by Axel Jürgens, is working crazy shifts to offer you guys a great terrain and a kick ass bmx time next week. The dirt line looks amazing already and offers tons of options for crazy moves. All focus now goes to the park section to make the park and street riders happy too.
One thing that we would like to mention is the fact that the VANS rebeljam course will stay in Portimao after the event. As most of you know already we believe in the „hand in hand“ theorie. Bmx gave us the opportunity to create an event like rebeljam and our part in terms of giving something back to Bmx is to leave all the new stuff to the local scene and to the bmx community. 
So if you can't make it out to Portimao this weekend, don't worry - the park will wait for you!The people around the CBP Bike club in Portimao are more than great - they have the heart in the right spot and with just very limited options they keep the park alive and fight for Bmx in Portugal. And this is something we respect! Thanks for all your support guys!
Like we already mentioned, this Friday will be the first official day, with open practice all day. As the first official side event we are very stoked and honored to announce a special for you guys:
If there is one person in Bmx who has to be the #1 rebel, there´s no doubt who it could be. This guy dedicated all his live to Bmx, it´s lifestyle and spirit - even in the lowest times in the sport. On Friday night we are stoked to have the European screening of Mat Hoffman´s The Birth of Big Air - presented by FATBMX.com! Get your Condor suits on and prepare for some true Bmx!
Saturday will be the qualifiers day for park and dirt and just before we put on the dancing shoes with the Discodogs from Cologne, Germany for the official Monster Energy riders night party, wethepeople will hold a bunny-hop contest - classic! Sunday will be dedicated to the finals for park and dirt and to get the crowd pumping we will hold the VANS rebeljam street best trick contets before dirt finals.
Between chlling and the contests make sure you visit the VANS rebeljam tent where we have the custom painted Vans slip on´s. Great people and artists sent in their designed Vans kicks to show them in Portimao and to raise some money for a good cause. Huge thanks to Bob Haro, Taj Mihelich, Steve Crandall, Ron Bonner, Mike De Wit and Joe-Tek!
All we can say is - DONT MISS IT!
